vmwVchaPublicIpDown

Module: VMWARE-VCHA-MIB

OID (symbolic): VMWARE-VCHA-MIB::vmwVchaPublicIpDown

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.53.0.206

Node type: NOTIFICATION-TYPE

Description: This informative notification is sent only once when the public network interface is brought down on the Active node. This can happen when InitiateFailover is invoked on the Active node or vcha process gracefully shuts down resulting in a reboot of the appliance (triggered by network isolation). During this time, clients cannot connect to vCenter Server and users will experience downtime until the public network interface is brought up. In either case, users should not expect more than five minutes of downtime. If VCHA cluster is still not connectable, the operator should verify the reachability of each node through the cluster network.

Examples

Send this trap to an SNMP manager — replace <manager> with the IP or hostname of your monitoring server (SNMPv2c):

snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' VMWARE-VCHA-MIB::vmwVchaPublicIpDown
snmptrap -v2c -c public <manager> '' 1.3.6.1.4.1.6876.53.0.206

Listen for incoming traps on the manager host (-f keeps it in the foreground, -Lo prints to stdout — useful for testing):

snmptrapd -f -Lo -c /dev/null authCommunity log public

Example snmptrapd log entry:

zoo11-linux.zoo [UDP: [192.168.30.111]:53701->[192.168.30.10]:162]:
  DISMAN-EVENT-MIB::sysUpTimeInstance = Timeticks: (338431429) 39 days, 4:05:14.29
